Before leaving for spring break, students will have the opportunity to view the completed HUB-Robeson Center expansion, the $44.6 million renovation project started in June 2013. With more than 106,000 square feet of improvements — encompassing about 54,800 square feet of new space and 52,000 square feet of renovated space — the HUB will welcome students and visitors to experience new spaces and enhancements at its grand opening event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, March 2.

Penn State officials are carefully monitoring hazardous weather in central Pennsylvania that could create dangerous driving conditions later today (Feb. 18) for those in and around the University Park campus.

After more than seven years sitting empty due to repairs being made to the dam, Lake Perez at Stone Valley Recreation Area is now full. The 72-acre, man-made lake will reopen to the public in April and offer a wide variety of outdoor activities.

The pharmacy at the Student Health Center is a hive of activity. For the 10 pharmacists and technicians working behind the counter -- whether talking to patients or answering calls -- cold and flu season is a hectic time of year. But for Rex, a technician of sorts, today is like every other: eight or so hours devoted to counting pills and filling hundreds of prescription bottles -- over and over and over again.

Penn State officials are carefully monitoring the winter storm making its way across the Commonwealth tonight (Feb. 1), with several varying bands of weather to hit the Centre Region, as well as other University locations. By the early hours of morning, officials will decide on any possible cancellation of classes and activities for the campuses.

Penn State’s University Park campus was blanketed in white after 8.6 inches of snow fell between late Sunday night and Tuesday morning. The Office of Physical Plant worked around the clock in an effort to keep Penn State’s roads and walkways passable.

Overall work on the HUB-Robeson Center expansion project is continuing with the reopening of the south entrance. In addition to providing access to the new locations of the Penn State Federal Credit Union, id+ and PNC Bank, the south entrance also offers access to the rest of the HUB via the elevator.
